Shadows of the ValleyAs crystal glacier, suspended in the onyx air,
bleeds darkness kissed with saline sadness,
clouds tiptoe through trapped phantom winds,
dripping sinister creatures rising from the
egoistic eyes ~ cracked illusions reflecting the underbelly of
fragrant fountains ~ an inverted resemblance of
grotesque monsters lurking in seething spaces,
heinous jaws of the ill-omened ocean, where mermaid madness
is born from the womb of...

ALPHABET OF AWKWARD AMORAwkwardly he made a pass
Bumped his head against the glass
Cheesy lines flew far and wide
Didn’t notice spinach fried
Ego big, but brain quite small
Fumbled trying to make a call
Gave her flowers — they had bugs
Hugged too long and popped her lugs
In his teeth was something green
Joked too much — the vibe turned mean
Kissed her hand, then...

Azure Blooms from Ash
Written: May 18, 2025, for contest sponsored by Karen J.
******************
Azure blooms rise from burned-out grime,
Beauty is strength, and a smile its prime.
Chuckles come cheap, yet brighten the day,
Dogs believe the vacuum will steal them away.
Engineers muse on how epic fails fly,
Falls...

What Makes Me SmileAmethyst jewels a wedding ring
Blue birds song happy to sing
Cotton clouds in the sky in spring
Denim allowed in my casual dream
Ebony eyes in a baby face
First prize in a poetic race
Green grass between my toes
Happiest laughs from heart of gold
Inspiring testimony from lives lived
Joy and mercy my God gives
Kente cloth all colorful and soft
Lavender...

You by my sideAlways so gentle, you walk by my side,
Being with you fills my heart with pride.
Car doors you open with that soft little smile,
Days feel brighter when you stay for a while.
Even in rain, you’re there with a hand,
Fixing the umbrella so I can still stand.
Guarding the sidewalk—always the street side,
How could I not beam with...

Passion
Ardor feels are divine
Bodies erotically entwine
Caresses eagerly connect
Desires meet to intersect
Emotions feed passion
Fondlings sassy fashion
Gasps praise movement
Hearts pump excitement
Intimate whispers tingle
Joining lips mingle
Kisses feed desire
Loins share ardor’s fire
Moving hips enthuse
Needy bodies fuse
Outcries express zeal
Pleasure pulses appeal
Quenched libidos slake
Ravenous wants take
Silk sensuality grooves
Tantalize rhythm moves
Unleashed hunger plunders
Velvet kisses thunder
Waves ebb and...

LETTER TO MY DARLING SELF
Dear Darling Self whom I love with the love of the Lord,
Do remain:
Affectionately amiable
Blooming beauteously blest
Championing care midst compassion
Depending on God Who is dearest Defender…
Enabled to encourage with enthusiasm
Fervently fueled for faith-filled flight
Geared, guarded by God’s grace
Hoisted with His helping hand…
Instructed against ignorance
Joyously jubilant, midst jokes or jeers
Kindled with kindness, keenly knowledgeable
Love by...

My Bloody Valentine Contest
aches of intent trample my heart
battered by a passion that tore me apart
callous are games accidentally wrought
deliberate, the battle that cannot be fought
evidence spills from my lips as lucidity hits
followed by confusion as the thought sits
going nowhere confuses the soul
heavy dread on repeat takes its toll
I matter, dead or alive
jeopardy real as I...

A chain endedAt daggers drawn with no discharge in animosity
Berated and mocked regardless of my actions or intentions
Cant take much more, hell I'm 27
"Dont take it mate", bite that bullet
Everything i hoped, friendship, closeness
Fond memories few and far between
Granted, i was not abused or physically neglected
Had it all, school trips, gadgets, want for...
